Tony Bellew, Liverpool boxer and former three time ABA Heavyweight Champion, former Commonwealth light heavyweight champion, WBC intercontinental belt holder should have a good idea of who will come out victorious in the vacant British Super-Middleweight title between Callum Smith and Rocky Fielding on Saturday night.

But who does 'Bomber' think will win when the two local fighters step into the ring at the Liverpool Echo Arena?

Bellew said "It's a great fight, it comes down to who wants it the most. I make Callum the favorite, if you believe what both sides are saying then it comes down to who wants it the most. I think Callum has an awful lot of tools, probably one of the most complete super-middleweights in the division, in the whole world."

He continued "Rocky seems to have combined an awkwardness with a bit of a punch, so early doors it could be explosive but I think nerves will play a big part in the early part of the fight but someone like Callum is too hard to look past. The kid just has every skill in the book, patience as well. He's got an old head on young shoulders.

Tomorrow will be a fantastic fight for the city, for the both lads. One thing I will say is that this isn't the end for the loser. The loser could even possibly still go on to have a world title, just all depends on how you take that loss and how you come back from it. I've suffered from loss myself and come back stronger in my opinion so I think both these guys mentally can do as I have done."
